The Elders and the legacy

 

Said by some to be prophets, by others as wandering oafs, The Elders remain as a touchstone for Glasgow Carromers. A senate of knowledge and a pool of wisdom, learned in the ways of powder and protocol, The Elders have long held sway over the game.

Stephen, Bruce, John and Yati Mayor ( "there's mair at mayor's") have been boarding since long before the Good Friday Agreement. Converts and apostles have joined the movement with will and belief. Paul McCole bought an A-R board after completing his trans-Atlantic solo rowing trip during 2017 - 2021. Jim has landed like a magpie at The Towers to claim treasure, wins and flukes. Jas nailed a handsome upgrade board during lockdown. Paul Shep obtained A-R from the Dark Web and Stu Thomson created his own board from the five of spades, the two of hearts and a Rubik's Cube.

All hail The Elders and let us all hail the year 2023 mezzzanine converts at Linen 1906 including Tommy, Fraser, Harry, big Stu D, Liam and other Linen staff, Fraser's dog and the wee Indian burd Bobby who schooled us in January. If such passion is the legacy of The Elders, let it be noted that our designs are benign. 

A new generation beckons.
